Reaction of Genotypes of Rice (Oryza sativa) to Iron Chlorosis in a Calcareous Soil
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
Nine rice genotypes were classed as tolerant, moderately tolerant, susceptible and highly susceptible, depending on their growth retardation and the intensity of lime-induced iron chlorosis. All except genotypes IET 7972 and IET 7973 showed varying degreees of chlorosis and corresponding decreases in shoot dry matter production. Chlorosis was negatively correlated with the orthophenanthroline reactive Fe2+ iron content of the leaves, the concentration of which accounted for 82% of the variability in chlorosis. However, total iron concentration in the leaves and the Fe/Mn, Fe/Cu and K/Fe ratios were not significantly correlated with dry matter accumulation in the plants.
